Welcome back to the channel! Today we'll take you on a tour of our off-grid cabin and answer some of the questions we've been asked.
In this video, we'll start by touring outside the cabin and giving you an idea of what the property looks like outdoors. Once we're done outside, we'll head inside and go through the cabin room by room. We'll explain the recent changes and upgrades and show you everything, right down to the outhouse!
While we don't live at the cabin, we do spend a lot of time up here. We use this cabin for hunting, splitting firewood, making maple syrup, relaxing, and much more.
Our long-term plan is to end up in a tiny off-grid cabin in the woods. Stay tuned to watch our journey to get there.
We hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!

My grandparents were off grid. Outhouse. Coal stove, coal oil lights. In the late 60s an indoor bathroom and water at the sink were added after my grandfather passed. They were born in the 1880s.

You guys should do a gravity fed water system. If you have a high enough point for your tank it’s really easy and makes life a lot more bearable. Unless you like a dry cabin in which case I’ll shut my big mouth and enjoy the show. 😂😂😂😂😂

First time viewer and that was my thought also! Pipes freezing would be a problem. Don’t know where the water table is but a hand pump inside the house would be so convenient especially during the canning or hunting season. Nice that it can feed and sleep so many people.

Quyana (Alaskan Yupik "eskimo" for thank you!) Glad to see people out there STILL have that old school respect! Nowadays, all I hear is "for all the haters out there...blah blah blah" 🥴 keep up the great work you do! Would be fun to see more planting, caring for and harvesting of your garden, along with canning what you grow!

I had a 20x24 cabin at 9800ft on Pikes Peak in Colorado for 13 years. I started with a wood stove but quickly figured out getting up at 3am to add wood was going to be a pain. I replaced it with a propane stove that had a thermostat, a 100lb propane tank would last 11 days in the dead of winter that propane tank also heated a normal 40gal hot water heater, propane dryer and cooktop. I had 2500 gals of cistern water and used a simple sump pump to pump water to the shower, sink and toilet. I had a 4500watt inverter and small battery bank like you with a backup generator if the batteries ran out too fast. Love your place, enjoy the simple life while you can.

True. But there's never seems to be enough. I'm always cutting wood and I always viewed a portion of the porch stash as untouchable in case I'm flat on my ass unable to cut from sickness or injury or general lame ass syndrome. I call it the "strategic reserve" and as such the porch stash is precious.

We cut woods in winter for many reasons. First, the sap is gone, so it'll dry much faster. Second, it's much easier to drag timber on snow than on dry ground in summer. Third, there's no mosquitoes. We then cut the wood and let it air-dry for one to three years before using it.

Using the porch around 3 sides of your house is extremely smart. Almost all other off-girders have a woodshed that are various distances from their cabin, IMO, this is not very smart. But you "nailed" it with the location of your wood. Needless-to-say, you derive many benefits from the location

Mice are the biggest risk emerging from woodstacks. If they identify the cabin walls as potential shelter or food source they will gnaw all surfaces until they find or create a gap. They love nesting under floors within insulation. As their droppings accumulate rats will be attracted and if there is a fresh water within c. 100 yards they'll establish nests and work in rotation to gnaw their way in. Stack wood away from the cabin in a covered wood-stand and keep porch and decking swept to DELAY the inevitable. To woodland rodents you're essentially creating their Nirvana🐭

This was an excellent tour! Thank you very much! Might I suggest one of those -- I don't know what you call it -- but you could screw a handheld shower nozzle onto the spigot in the shower to control the water by hand. This would be more water efficient for a military-type shower. I'm sure you all have considered that. I'm just throwing it out there. Lastly, I bet you all have a marvelous time and are making lifetime memories when you go to the cabin!

We burned firewood for our primary heat for 45 years. We only used our furnace as a back-up heat source when we were gone or when it was very very cold in the dead of winter. We have 40 acres of wooded property where we cut our firewood. Our wood stove is in the basement & it heats the whole house-the floors are nice & warm all winter.

I’m not technical, so I didn’t pay much attention. I just know he spent an awful lot of time, making sure that they were insulated to keep them from getting too cold, he did say something about it affected their life and it affected their performance just passing it on this is the first time I’ve watched your channel. It’s pretty interesting and so I subscribed have a great day and a great new year.

I highly recommend the Jackery solar power generator system as a back up. For one thing it's portable. For your indoor composting toilet get a grow mat and set it on that the jackery would be perfect for that and keep it from freezing. We have the 1000 model but for you I would suggest the 2000 pro. Also you should look into the Sun Mar composting toilet. Doesn't require water or electricity and can handle a family of 4 plus quite nicely and bring your toilet needs in doors year around.

It's funny as soon as I saw your cabin & your wood stacks I told my wife " now they clearly want their heat source close close by " it must be folks who actually live in the country & in the cold that just get it. As for folks always looking for things to worry about on others videos I'll just assume they find issues with everything in real life as well. 😅 cool set up homestead wise.

Looks great, solar vacuum water heater would be my next purchase. Could you store rain water for flushing and washing - snow in a tank for cooking? Here in uk they used Ice house pits for refrigeration and snow tanks for fresh water.

I suppose no use over facilitating if you are using occasionally. If your batteries went from 60% to 90% in an hour you might be able to also use a lithium Power bank, ecoflow, bluetti etc to store excess power in the cabin for entertainment or fans. I run my solar to 12 130 deep cycle 12v lead acid batteries then charge the lithium battery packs off these. Use for crock-pot slow cooker, fans, lights and charging laptops and phones. Lovely cabin and well edited.

Nice :) Hey, you may want to get those batteries somewhere inside or better insulated from the cold. Batteries don't last long in cold temperatures.

Last couple videos I saw from you guys was getting things ready for a garden and then that hellacious storm hit and caused the devastation and you were cleaning up. Honestly I checked the channel over the next month or two and didn’t see anything. I’ve gotten no notifications about any of the videos. Past few days I kept getting this video in my feed. Took me a few days for it to tickle my old brain into remembering hey I know living simple. Refreshed and stilll had to go search for this video. lol. Anyway so happpy to see this video and I’ve got some catching up to do ! Take care and much love from Maine

Super nice camp. Wondering how far away that lake is. For a water source, you could build a 5gal bucket filter system.

The lake is a bit far for a water system but we did dig a very big pond which we collect water from for dishes and showering 🙂

You may like to consider installing a good composting toilet-indoors for those inopportune times (bad weather etc). One bale of peat moss lasts me over 1 year as compost media.

Nice to have a spot away from it all!...I did see a sign that said the Shwa...so Im guessing you guys arent too far away from that part of ON. Ive been to a few hunt camps and yours is A nice setup! In a pinch, you could live there quite well...too!
